Preserving Memories: The Art of Flower Pressing for Bereavement Flowers
By Tami, Founder of The Flower Press Shed
Flowers hold a unique ability to express emotions that words often cannot. In moments of loss, bereavement flowers and funeral flowers serve as a heartfelt tribute to a loved one, a way to honour their life and cherish their memory. At The Flower Press Shed, I help you preserve these meaningful blooms, turning them into lasting keepsakes through the beautiful art of flower pressing.
Why Preserve Bereavement Flowers?
When we lose someone dear, we often wish to hold onto the moments and tokens that remind us of them. Flower preservation offers a way to capture the beauty and significance of the bereavement flowers you’ve chosen. Instead of letting those blooms fade, you can press your flowers and transform them into a timeless piece of art – something tangible that keeps the memory of your loved one close.
The Timeless Beauty of Flower Pressing
Flower pressing is an age-old craft that preserves the natural beauty of petals and leaves, maintaining their colours, shapes, and sentiment. Each flower is pressed with care, honouring its symbolism and meaning. Whether it’s a single rose from the arrangement or a collection of blooms, these pressed flowers become a delicate, enduring tribute to your loved one.
Creating a Personalised Keepsake
When you choose to preserve funeral flowers, you’re creating a deeply personal keepsake that reflects the unique relationship you shared with your loved one. A framed piece of pressed flowers can be displayed at home, offering a comforting reminder of their presence. You might also choose to share smaller keepsakes with family members, creating meaningful connections for everyone who cherished them.
A Sustainable Way to Remember
Preserving bereavement flowers is not only meaningful but also sustainable. Instead of letting flowers go to waste, flower preservation gives them a new purpose. At The Flower Press Shed, I take great care to handle your blooms respectfully and with the environment in mind, ensuring their beauty lives on in a way that honours both your loved one and the world around us.
How the Process Works
After the funeral or memorial service, simply send your flowers to The Flower Press Shed. I’ll carefully press and preserve the blooms, arranging them into a design that reflects their original beauty. Whether you prefer a framed piece, a keepsake box, or another design, I’ll work with you to create a bespoke tribute that tells the story of your love and remembrance.
Finding Comfort in Preserved Flowers
Grieving is a deeply personal journey, and finding ways to honour and remember a loved one can be a source of comfort. Preserving bereavement flowers gives you a way to celebrate their life and keep their memory alive in a beautiful, tactile form. Every time you look at those preserved flowers, you’ll be reminded of their presence and the love you shared.
A Thoughtful Gift
If someone close to you is mourning a loss, offering to preserve their funeral flowers can be a thoughtful and supportive gesture. It’s a way to help them hold onto something tangible during a time when so much feels lost.
